The PreSonus FireStudio Mobile Recording System combines the superior analog-circuit design and advanced
platform technology of PreSonus' acclaimed FireStudio rackmount interfaces with the ability to run on bus power in field applications.
Now you can have enhanced audio performance for music recording and creation anywhere you can lug your laptop.

The
FireStudio Mobile is a 10-input, 6-output professional audio recording system that combines 2 PreSonus XMAX Class A microphone
preamplifiers; 6 line-level, analog input channels; S/PDIF digital input and output; MIDI I/O; and headphone monitoring with
separate gain control. The FireStudio Mobile gives you tons of flexibility and a high input count making it possible to record
a whole band. It's also bundled with PreSonus Studio One Artist, a groundbreaking music creation program, and over 4GB of
virtual instruments, plug-ins, loops, and samples to get you started making music immediately.

True 48-Volt
Phantom Power—Even When Powered By Your Laptop
Here's a dirty little secret: bus-powered mobile interfaces from other manufacturers deliver much less than the full 48 volts
of phantom power that is specified by microphone manufacturers. This means even the finest condenser microphone can't work
at optimal internal gain levels, potentially compromising sound quality even before the signal gets to the mic preamp. To
get around this, the PreSonus' team of engineers created an "internal switching power plant" that lets the PreSonus FireStudio
Mobile convert computer bus power into a full 48 volts of phantom power, as well as delivering 30 volts to power the superb
mic preamps you'll read about next.

XMAX Class A Preamplifiers to Go
PreSonus knows that the mic preamplifier is a key component in the sonic quality of a recording. The FireStudio Mobile includes
custom-designed, high-voltage, discrete, XMAX Class A microphone preamplifiers that are suitable for use with all types of
microphones. The job of a microphone preamplifier in an audio interface is to boost a microphone-level signal to line level
before conversion to the digital domain. A good preamp boosts the level to almost 400 times that of the original signal, making
the preamp one of the most important stages in an interface. With XMAX preamps, the sonic quality is limited only by what
microphone you plug into it.

XMAX preamplifiers are built with 3 key elements:
High Voltage—The XMAX preamplifier runs on power rails of 30V. These higher-voltage power rails deliver more headroom,
deeper lows, smoother highs, and a richer overall sound.

Class A—Class A circuits have no crossover distortion and deliver purer,
clearer, and more musical results than the Class AB designs that are more common in other preamps.

The net result of
the XMAX preamp design is high headroom, low noise, wide dynamic range, extended frequency response, and—most important—musicality
and transparency, with smooth highs, solid deep lows, and everything in between.

On the Front
A pair of 3-LED level/clip indicators let you check the signal levels for channels 1 and 2, and a button enables 48V phantom
power for the 2 mic channels. Also on the front panel are gain knobs for the 2 mic/instrument inputs and for the main stereo
outputs and a stereo headphone output with gain knob. Gain for the mic inputs ranges from —10dB to +70dB; the high-impedance
instrument inputs range from —30dB to +50dB of gain. Finally, a power/sync indicator LED shows whether the FireStudio
Mobile is receiving adequate power and is correctly receiving word clock.

Ins and Outs
For a compact, portable unit, the FireStudio Mobile is loaded with I/O. It starts with a pair of combination XLR/TS mic/instrument
jacks, which are in the inputs for channels 1 and 2. The XLR mic inputs are routed to the aforementioned XMAX solid-state
mic preamplifiers. The high-impedance, TS instrument inputs let you plug guitars or basses directly into the front panel.

On
the back are 6 more balanced, 1/4" line level inputs for channels 3 through 8, plus a DB9 connector that accepts a breakout
cable (included) to provide stereo S/PDIF digital I/O and MIDI I/O. You get 2 FireWire 400 ports: one port connects to your
computer, and the other can be used to connect a hard drive or to daisy-chain any FireStudio-family interface allowing you
to integrate the FireStudio Mobile into a larger system.

Digital Converters and JetPLL Sync
PreSonus FireStudio Mobile's A/D/A converters have a dynamic range of 118dB for unbelievable clarity. Synchronization to your
computer is stable and robust, thanks to JetPLL synchronization technology. JetPLL incorporates noise shaping to virtually
remove all audio-band jitter, ensuring near-perfect clock performance and optimal converter performance when networking two
or more digital-audio devices. JetPLL quickly locks to any digital format through a wide range of frequencies and is extremely
robust and tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. As a result, you'll experience better stereo separation and clearer,
more transparent audio.

Universal Control
Like all members of the PreSonus FireStudio family, the FireStudio Mobile comes bundled with Universal Control software. Universal
Control is a powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use control-panel application that allows you to daisy-chain up to 4 FireStudio
family devices for a maximum of up to 52 inputs and outputs (assuming your computer can handle that many tracks).

Universal
Control consists of the Launch window and the Device window. In the Launch window, you can set the sample rate, clock source,
safe mode, buffer size (PC only), and WDM routing (PC only) for all connected FireStudio Mobile-series interfaces. Each device
is listed at the bottom of the window, along with Device Window buttons that open each interface's Device window.

The
Device window provides level and routing controls for each FireStudio-series interface's internal mixer, enabling you to set
up zero-latency cue mixes. Input and output metering have been optimized for ultrafast screen display and minimum CPU usage,
and you can give each interface a custom name. You can use any device in the chain as the master clock source, or you can
slave the entire chain to an external digital device using any of the available digital inputs in the chain.

Studio
One Artist—Plus Gigabytes of Creative Resources
The FireStudio Mobile recording system is bundled with an exceptional software package featuring PreSonus Studio One Artist
DAW software for Mac OS X and Windows XP and Vista. It makes producing high-quality projects easier than ever before. As part
of the Studio One Artist package, you get 20 new PreSonus Native Effects plug-ins and virtual instruments, and a generous
bundle of third-party loops, software, and instrument sounds.

PreSonus FireStudio Mobile 10x6 FireWire Recording System Features:

The first mobile interface with PreSonus' renowned studio-interface audio quality

Note that the speed of your processor, amount
of RAM, and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also,
a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) that you might experience
while monitoring audio or MIDI signals.

Monitor resolution for both PC and Macintosh should be no lower than 1024 x
768 pixels.
